What do you guys suggest using when cleaning a motor. I just recently took my bike apart and wanted to clean and polish up my motor and other parts. Any tips would be great thanks

I use a big parts cleaner to clean all my stuff. Let it soak for a bit then take a toothbrush and clean it up. Purple Power, or an enginwe degreaser work well too if you don't have access to a parts cleaner. I've never polished anything myself but here's a link on how to do it.

If it's really dirty use Acid, for something mild that works great I would say REDHOT... If you use acid make sure after you rinse it all off and spray it with either WD40 or a Non Silicone dressing. But I would use acid, probably reduce it, if not only leave it on for like 5 seconds... lol any outoparts store should have both...
O for polishing chrome or alluminum use Mothers polish
